- ItemEffect of Heat Treatments under High Isostatic Pressure on the Transport Critical Current Density at 4.2 K and 20 K in Doped and Undoped MgB2 Wires(Basel : MDPI, 2021) Gajda, Daniel; Zaleski, Andrzej J.; Morawski, Andrzej J.; Małecka, Malgorzata; Nenkov, Konstantin; Rindfleisch, Matt; Hossain, Md Shahriar A.; Czujko, TomaszAnnealing undoped MgB2 wires under high isostatic pressure (HIP) increases transport critical current density (Jtc) by 10% at 4.2 K in range magnetic fields from 4 T to 12 T and significantly increases Jtc by 25% in range magnetic fields from 2 T to 4 T and does not increase Jtc above 4 T at 20 K. Further research shows that a large amount of 10% SiC admixture and thermal treatment under a high isostatic pressure of 1 GPa significantly increases the Jtc by 40% at 4.2 K in magnetic fields above 6 T and reduces Jtc by one order at 20 K in MgB2 wires. Additionally, our research showed that heat treatment under high isostatic pressure is more evident in wires with smaller diameters, as it greatly increases the density of MgB2 material and the number of connections between grains compared to MgB2 wires with larger diameters, but only during the Mg solid-state reaction. In addition, our study indicates that smaller wire diameters and high isostatic pressure do not lead to a higher density of MgB2 material and more connections between grains during the liquid-state Mg reaction.

- ItemLow-Temperature Magnetothermodynamics Performance of Tb1-xErxNi2 Laves-Phases Compounds for Designing Composite Refrigerants(Basel : MDPI, 2022) Ćwik, Jacek; Koshkid’ko, Yurii; Nenkov, Konstantin; Tereshina-Chitrova, Evgenia; Weise, Bruno; Kowalska, KarolinaIn this paper, the results of heat capacity measurements performed on the polycrystalline Tb1-xErxNi2 intermetallic compounds with x = 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 are presented. The Debye temperatures and lattice contributions as well as the magnetic part of the heat capacity were determined and analyzed. The heat capacity measurements reveal that the substitution of Tb atoms for Er atoms leads to a linear reduction of the Curie temperatures in the investigated compounds. The ordering temperatures decrease from 28.3 K for Tb0.25Er0.75Ni2 to 12.9 K for Tb0.75Er0.25Ni2. Heat capacity measurements enabled us to calculate with good approximation the isothermal magnetic entropy ΔSmag and adiabatic temperature changes ΔTad for Tb1-xErxNi2, for the magnetic field value equal to 1 T and 2 T. The optimal molar ratios of individual Tb0.75Er0.25Ni2, Tb0.5Er0.5Ni2 and Tb0.25Er0.75Ni2 components in the final composite were theoretically determined. According to the obtained results, the investigated composites make promising candidates that can find their application as an active body in a magnetic refrigerator performing an Ericsson cycle at low temperatures. Moreover, for the Tb0.5Er0.5Ni2 compound, direct measurements of adiabatic temperature change in the vicinity of the Curie temperature in the magnetic field up to 14 T were performed. The obtained high-field results are compared to the data for the parent TbNi2 and ErNi2 compounds, and their magnetocaloric properties near the Curie temperature are analyzed in the framework of the Landau theory for the second-order phase transitions.
- ItemMagnetocaloric performance of the three-component Ho1-xErxNi2 (x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) Laves phases as composite refrigerants([London] : Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature, 2022) Ćwik, Jacek; Koshkid’ko, Yurii; Nenkov, Konstantin; Tereshina-Chitrova, Evgenia; Małecka, Małgorzata; Weise, Bruno; Kowalska; KarolinaTo date, significant efforts have been put into searching for materials with advanced magnetocaloric properties which show promise as refrigerants and permit realization of efficient cooling. The present study, by an example of Ho1−xErxNi2, develops the concept of magnetocaloric efficiency in the rare-earth Laves-phase compounds. Based on the magneto-thermodynamic properties, their potentiality as components of magnetocaloric composites is illustrated. The determined regularities in the behaviour of the heat capacity, magnetic entropy change, and adiabatic temperature change of the system substantiate reaching high magnetocaloric potentials in a desired temperature range. For the Ho1−xErxNi2 solid solutions, we simulate optimal molar ratios and construct the composites used in magnetic refrigerators performing an Ericsson cycle at low temperatures. The tailored magnetocaloric characteristics are designed and efficient procedures for their manufacturing are developed. Our calculations based on the real empirical data are very promising and open avenue to further experimental studies. Systems showing large magnetocaloric effect (MCE) at low temperatures are of importance due to their potential utilization in refrigeration for gas liquefaction.
